The Hilichurls are indeed a species with low IQ. According to the law of the cry of wolf, it takes three times for humans to completely lose trust in their companions, but the Hilichurls only need one time.
No matter how the Hilichurl on guard shouted to warn, none of his companions responded.
Looking at Collei who walked forward with a dagger in hand, the Hilichurl felt extremely helpless.
"Nimesila!"
Seeing that Collei had no intention of letting him go, the Hilichurl mustered up the courage and raised the bone stick in his hand. As for what it said... I guess it doesn't need to be translated, right?
It's concise and to the point!
The Hilichurls fighting power is probably stronger than that of ordinary adults, but Collei is obviously not an ordinary person. Even if she doesn't have the Vision yet, with her means, even some people with the Vision may not be her opponents.
So it was no surprise that this Hilichurl was beaten up by her.
But Collei didn't kill this Hilichurl, because this was Bai Luo's request. It seemed that he needed these Hilichurls to do something.
After placing the mechanical bird 2.0, Cole did not alarm the other Hilichurls and quietly sneaked out of their camp. But when she left, she did not forget to kick the Hilichurl lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
She was very vengeful.
Back to the temporary camping site, Bai Luo had prepared lunch.
"The fish is from Mondstadt, and the firewood is also from Mondstadt. It's pure Mondstadt grilled fish. Do you want to try it?"
Bai Luo raised the grilled lunch in his hand and began to greet her.
Bai Luo's cooking skills... can only be said to be mediocre. Although it is not so good that it will shine, it is definitely much better than a certain otaku.
"Huh."
Collei took the food handed by Bai Luo and did not refuse. She ate it in silence.
In the past two days, she has also tried to escape.
But every time she couldn't run far, she would be dragged back by Bai Luo, or she would be tripped and tied up by the ubiquitous steel wires.
It was as if that guy was always by her side.
After a few times, she simply lay down.
Otherwise? She couldn't fight him, and she couldn't run away. She could only make do with it for now, and then find a chance to slip away.
"This is the last one. Let's pack up and get ready to go back later."
Bai Luo didn't care, but stirred the milk in the pot by himself.
Collei didn't know where he got it from. She didn't see him carrying these things when he went out.
"Do I have to take those stones with me?"
Looking at the stones in the tent, Collei felt a little scared.
Because according to Bai Luo, she needed to carry them back to Mondstadt.
The distance from Dadaupa Gorge to Mondstadt made her despair just thinking about it.
"You will be grateful to me later."
Glancing at the stones and crystals, Bai Luo chuckled, but did not explain too much.
"I will thank you for nothing."
Although she said this, Collei did not notice that she had already let down her guard against Bai Luo and began to obey him.
Having led so many soldiers over the years, Bai Luo has many ways to subtly change others' attitudes towards him.
Do you think he is called an instructor for nothing?
Even the Rooster admire his methods.
The milk in the pot is almost done. If it is heated up, the taste may change.
Bai Luo personally poured a bowl and handed it to Collei.
Collei just took a sip at first, but after tasting it, her eyes suddenly lit up and she gulped down a large bowl.
But no matter how deliciously she drank, Bai Luo had no intention of touching the milk.
"Where did you get the milk? I didn't see you bring it on the road."
After wiping the milk stains from the corners of her mouth, Collei finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked about the origin of the milk.
"Are you sure you want to know?"
Bai Luo spat out the fishbone in his mouth and looked at her with a strange expression.
"No... can't I?"
Collei subconsciously looked around. She felt that there should be a secret base of the Fatui nearby, otherwise... how could he take out so many things like a magic trick.
Speaking of which, if she knew these secrets, would she be quietly killed by the other party?
"Not impossible."
Bai Luo felt that this was not a secret that needed to be hidden, so he told the origin of these things.
"The pot comes from the Meat-loving Tribe in the north, the milk is fished from the big vat of the Sleep-loving Tribe in the south, and the bowl you hold comes from the Black Sun Tribe in the east."
[A/N: These are the names of the three biggest Hilichurl camps in the Mondstadt]
"..."
Hearing Bai Luo's words, Collei suddenly felt that the mellow milk fragrance in her mouth had changed.
She used her hands and feet to crawl into the grass nearby.
"Oh——"
The so-called meat-loving tribe, the sleep-loving tribe, and the black sun tribe are actually three large tribes of the Hilichurl people.
God knows what they have cooked in their pots.
And the milk is the same. It is not certain whether this thing is milk produced by cows.
The most important thing is that she finally understood why Bai Luo only sprinkled seasoning on her when she ate barbecue and grilled fish these days.
There must be something wrong with that thing.
"Tsk, is this the only endurance?"
Looking at Collei, whose face was pale, Bai Luo showed his ugly face.
Although he felt very uncomfortable after being bullied by Ksenia.
But after the two sides exchanged, this feeling is still quite good.
This is really a pleasant experience.
After dinner, under Collei's resentful eyes, Bai Luo packed up his things and took her on the road back to Mondstadt.
In fact, there was nothing. The temporary camp was originally there, and it should be the place where the hunters settled.
They didn't bring too many things, the only thing that was a bit troublesome was the pile of ore.
But all these stones were weighed down on Collei.
He wanted to stay for a few more days, because there were still many things Collei hadn't learned.
But the medicine on her bandages had gradually lost its effect, and the Ludi Harpastum festival was getting closer and closer, and they couldn't afford to delay.
At least... they had to return to Mondstadt before the Ludi Harpastum festival began.
Before they arrived in Mondstadt, the two felt the atmosphere of the Ludi Harpastum festival.
Not only were there slogans of the Ludi Harpastum festival posted everywhere on the road, but even the occasional travelers and merchants on the road were discussing information related to the festival.
"When you go back later, take these ores to Wagner's blacksmith shop."
Under the other party's resistant eyes, Bai Luo rubbed Collei's slightly fluffy hair.
"It's so late, the blacksmith shop should be closed, right?"
In the two days of getting along with Bai Luo, Collei had become accustomed to being ordered around by him, but she still had to complain.
Because this was her last stubbornness.
"Knock on the door if it's closed. If the Fatui want his help, even if he's holding his wife and making a baby, he has to pull it out to work for us."
[A/N: Being a Fatui has it's own privileges]
"..."
Bai Luo's words did not surprise Collei, because the Fatui's style has always been like this.
It was his subtle metaphor that made Collei lower her head and pull the gauze on her face, as if to cover up the blush on her face.
"I'll wait for you at the city gate later. Remember to come to me after delivering the materials. After changing the medicine, I'll take you to see someone."
"Who?"
"A big and capable big sister."
"What??"
